to the enhanced value of labor"and mai A new and happier era is about to dawn upon the social world if the workingmen shall now be true to themselves. The laboring man, if he does his duty to himself, is about to assume his just position and rela-
tions in society.
Hitherto, the world has been engaged in war, the great cause of slavery among the masses; Governments have ruled, collected taxes, squandered them in riotous living, ostentatious display, and wasteful favoritism to parasites and worthless minions; history has been devoted to chronicling the actions and movements of the so-called great; learning has been confined to the few; for want of cheap publication, and facility of transportation, information has been but little diffused; niul the masses of the people ignorant, helpless for want of opportunity of intercommunication and association, bound to the soil of their birth, with kings and aristocracy saddled upon their backs, have plodded life away, unnoticed in history, unthought of by philanthropists, in earning, like the beasts of the field with which they labored, the means that enabled their riders to spend lives of ease, in costly palaces, amid luxurious splendor and debauch. Now, all is changed! By railroad, all can speedily journey; nil can send and receive messages, can secretly communicate their thoughts and plans by mail and telegraph; all can read the news, and the Government, and business, and political movements of the day, in the cheap newspapers. Intelligence is diffused, and the means of association and concerted action placed within the reach of the laboring masses, and the ballot is in their hands. How great a debt do they owe to the solitary and often almost starving man of science who discovered the principles, and the laborious artist who gave them practical application in the various machinery which has produced these wonderful, glorious, humanizing, equalizing, and ele-
vating results!
Physical have been followed by moral, and moral by social discussions and changes; and now, we have reached the point where the laboring men have taken up the question as to their true position and relations in society, in the industrial world. It is seen that three elements or agencies enter into the production of the wealth, the source of support to all
mankind.
1. The spontaneous productive power of
nature.
This, GOD gives the free benefit of to all, the rich and the poor. Both classes have a right to share equally in this. 2. In connection with this, labor. And, 3. In like connection, capital. And the question is, how shall the proceeds of the joint efforts of capital and labor, in augmenting the natural productions of nature, be divided between labor and capital? In times past, Government officials and capital have wrested from the laboring men all of the proceeds of capital, labor, and the spontaneous productions ot the earth, except the little pittance that would keep the souls and bodies of the laborers together, and the laboring masses have been serfs and slaves. But this was not a proper division, and the laboring masses now, in America, in Europe, in Asia, every where, where there is intelligence, are moving for the correction of the mighty and cruel wrong. In Africa, among the negroes, ourang outangs, and the monkeys, among the cannibal population of that dark continent, where th6re is not enough intelligence to create government, laws, and systematized labor, of course, there arc no working men's associations. If labor had been always free and properly rewarded, so that it now stood on the natural terms of equality with capital, the rule of political economy that demand and supply regulate, would apply. But such has not been the case. Government, in times past, has sided altogether with capital, and it still does too much in aiding it to cripple and subjugate labor. Labor Is now, therelore, comparatively poor, weak, and bound to its locality, and, hence, unable to make an equal contest with capital favored by government. Hence, after, by discussion, arriving at the at the just rule of dividing incomes between labor and capital, it will be necessary for labor, for a time to associate and aid its devotees in obtaining its true ttatui relative to capital. What the true line of division Is, we are not now able to point out with precision. It is manifest that as man has a moral and intellectual, as Well as physicnl nature, time ought to be divided between the exercise of the three, and that the time given to physical labor ought to bnng sufficient remuneration to support the laborer and his family well during performance, and enable him to accumulate a surplus against sickness and old age. This point is one demanding thorough examination. So now, the tax burdens of our late wickedly provoked*war, must be divided between labor and capital. Capital will seek to impose the whole upon labor, by the use of the negro, but this must not be allowed. The workingmen should bo awake to the whole
subject.
The Negro. We do not see the negro in print now as the race really is. The negro race is very inferior, far below the white race in all moral and intellectual qualities. It is an exceptional instance where a pure black man is more than capable of merely getting a subsistence. The blacks are devoid of Judgment and large views. Who would trust, as the general rule, a pure African with the cashiership of a bank, the treasurership of a railroad company, or auy high responsible positions? We venture few Republicans in this city would do it. Now, this is the way to test the matter. If the negroes, the pure African blacks, are not equal to such position, why nay they are e^ual to the positions of controlling civil government? They are not equal to them. They could not carry on a Government for their own people; how. then, can they be admitted to that of white men? When the abolition Republicans quote the uegro to us, as evidence of some ability, they refer us to Fred. Douglass, but Fred. Douglass Is not an African negro, any more than a mule is a noble race horse. Ail that makes Fred. Douglass anything is the white blood in him. The abolitionists give the whole African race the credit of the white blood talent in jour Fred. Douglasses, Gullivers, and other inulattoes. This will not do. The pure Africans, who compose the great body of the colored class, are not equal to the duties of civil government, and especially should they not be admitted to partnership in them with the superior white race, on account of their vast disparity, engendering race hostility, contempt, jealousy and strife. Why, it Is yet regarded au experiment whether we, tho white race, are capable of carrying on a republican Government. A large number of Republican papers advocate the taking away of sutiragu from the uneducated and immoral of the whites, because of the farcical, fraudulent character ofpopuliu; elections now. If they be anything Hke right in this, how can we run the buzzard of swelling the doubtful class of voters by four million of negroes, who are not to he trusted with even private business places of responsibility?
We have hesitated about publishing the following communication; but have concluded, as the University is a public institution of the Stale, that it is, perhaps, right to give the citizen au' opportunity to be heard in criti-
cising it.
We do not agree with our correspondent in his complaints, nor can we indorse his charges. We have always understood Monroe to possess an excellent population. We deem hoop poles and leather as useful and important as other ordinary productions. It would be a great misfortune of we could not tan our leather or hoop our barrels and casks. It is one of the advantages of the State that we have these means within her borders, and hoop poles are valuable articles of commerce. We have understood the University to be in a very flourishing condition. We never heard of the abuses existing of which B. complains in the admission of
students.
We have some acquaintance with Dr. NUTT, and It is favorable. If he made political speeches it is censurable, but we never heard
before that he did.
For the Indianapolis Daily Herald.
Mr. Editon: I write on a subject which deserves the attention of the whole people of Indiana, viz: The State University. This, as your readers ail know, is situated at Bloomington, in the county of Monroe. How it ever chanced to have been located in such a place, is a mystery to all who have visited it, Bloomington being about as fit for the seat of an institution of this kind, as Wayne county, according to the Honorable Mr. Hanna, Is for the seat of the projected agricultural college. The staple products of Monroe county are hooppoles and tanbark, though occasionally one may meet with a cart load of partially developed pumpkins. Many of the inhabitants of this/ertiZe region are extremely ignorant, and with regard to that section of the county in which they vegetatt, are called by various elegant names, such as “Beau Blossomers,” “ Salt CTeekers,” etc. However, it is not in regard to tha location of the University that I wish to speak,(for that can not now be helped) so much as in reference to Its government, winch I regret to say, has, of late, sadly degenerated. Whether this fact is attributable to the mismanagement of the Board of Trustees, or to the careleesness of the faculty, or to both these causes combined, I am not certain, but certain is it hat the honorable name and reputation which Indiana State University has sustained in former years are fast fading away. The University, which a few years ago was the first and best college in the State, is beeom-
ing an object of ridicule to those who are in- __ —

A curious item of statistics in the French papers illustrates the superstition of tbe Parisians. It is observed that the omnibus travel of Paris on Fridays diminishes in the proportion of twenty-five per cent., so strong is the superstitious avoidance of doing any thing that can be helped on that “ unlucky ” day. It is also further remarked that when Friday happens to fall on the 13th of the month, the omnibus receipts decrease at the rate of fifty per cent. A Constantinople paper says that two antiquarians, in making excavations in Syria, have discovered a Jewish habitation entire, the construction of which dates two centuries previous to the Christian era. Its rooms an furnished after the Egyptian style, and tbeoe gentlemen found in them tbe five books of Moses, the Psalms of David, and another book containing Hebrew poetry, completely unknown. Justifiable Doubt.—When the brave Corporal Caithness was asked, after the battle ol Waterloo, is he was not afraid, be replid: “ Afraid! why I was in a’ the battles of the Peninsula!” And having it explained that the question related to a fear of losing the day: “ No, na: I didna fear that. I was only afraid we should be a’ killed before we had time to win it.”
The attention of the mistress of a family was lately called to tbe fact that a little colored girl was constantly seen lying on the grassplat, with her face turned up to the sun. Upon being questioned why she assumed thst posture, she answered: “ Why. missis always lays de tings on de grass what she wants to make white. I want to get white, too.” The Rochester Union says: “ The quantity of spirits smuggled into the country from Canada is enormous, probably ons-thlrd of oil that is consumed. All tbe stuff telegraphed from Washington will not gainsay this. Oos half the whisky sold in this city, Buffalo, and other points along the frontier, is the product of Canadian sinnta.” A letter from San Antonio, Texas, says the Government cornels, the descendents of the herd imported some fifteen years ago from Egypt, excite the curiosity of oil strangers. They number about seventy, are all sizes and ages, some still nnweaned. Only seven of the original lot are still alive. “ I don’t miss my church so much as you suppose,” said a lady to her minister, who had called upon her during her illness, “ for I make Betsy sit up by the window as soon as the bells begin to chime, and tell me who are going to church and whether they have anything new. The Boston Traveller says: The Southern trade bus completely collapsed, and hardly a single vessel is on Us way hither from New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah or Charlaoton. Our people have probably as much cotton on hand as they care about holding, and wish the quantity lessened rather than increased. As the winter’s Ice breaks up on the lake ■bore and in the river at Chicago, a great many dead bodies are fished out of the water by the citizens. Nobody knows anything about how- they came there, and no impertinent questions are asked, according to the local journals. President Johnson has granted a panion to Barthold J. Drassen.who was convicted, about two months since, of a conspiracy (in connection with two others i to defraud the Government, and sentenced to two year*’ imprisonment in the county jail of the district. The municipal authorities of Boston have enacted that the bowling and billiard saloons of that city shall be closed at tan o’clock every evening except Saturday, and from six o’clock of that evening until over Sunday. Tbe Boston Transcript aays: “ Mr. Charles K. Browne (Artemus Ward) has received an offer of #20,000 (in gold) and his expenses for a lecturing tour in England of six mouths. William Croft, famous as a fugitive slave, lias established a large school at Wbydah; and King Dahomey testifies his appreciation by sending him a present of six slaves.

The Idea of putting men on such a board as this, who have no reputation or influence outside their own counties, is perfectly absurd; but it is a fact, that for some time past this hoard has been composed of just such men. Let the institution have the right sort of a president, and a board of trustees composed of men who are known, and who have some appreciation of the importance of education—then can we hope that Indiana’s State University will, in the future, be an honor to the whole State, as
she has been in the past.
Very respectfully, yours, B.
Democratic Senator. The Indianapolis Herald, the political scavenger of Indiana, is advocating the claims of L. P. Milligan to the Senatorship of this State.—Madison Courier. Will you be good enough,; Mr. Courier, to quote the article in which the Herald lias advocated the election of Mr. Milligan to the Senate? If you can not do it, |the impression* will naturally arise that your statement is without foundation, Jin other words is not true. If you can, we certainly will not deny its truth. We are not aware that Mr. Milligan has announced himself a candidate for the Senate; nor are we aware that he has been announced as a candidate by any Democrat. So far as we know he has been nominated by the Republicans who nominated Morton; and, while we have expressly disclaimed the support of any particular man for the Senate, we have said, that, if the Republicans were^going to make lawlessness the ground of merit for election, JIorton had a greater share of it than Milligan, and would, of course, win. P. S.—A Republican friend said to us yesterday that we were mistaken about Morton’8 being a candidate for the Senate. He says be is a candidate for re-election as Governor. He ■ays he went to Europe, not for medical treatment, as the best of that could be had here, but that his object was to let Baker serve a part of his term, so as to take bis case out of the constitutional provision on tbe subject. We are free to say that we do not agree with our Republican friend. Wc can’t see it in that light. But we give his statement lor what it
is worth.

stood that the committee agreed to it. It is more radical than anything that has heretofore come from that direction. It is in the shape of a joint resolution to amend the Constitution, and professes to provide for the restoration to the Southern States of all their
political rights.
Article first of the amendment says that there shall be no discrimination made by any State nor by the United States as to the civil rights of persons because of race, color, or pre-
vious condition of servitude.
Second. That from and after the 4th day of July, in the year 1870, no discrimination shall be made by any State,nor by the United States as to the enjoyment by classes of persons of the right of suffrage because of race or color. Third. Until July 4, 1867, no class of persons as to the right of auy of whom suffrage discrimination shall he made by any State because of race or color or previous condition of servitude shall be included in the basis of re-
presentation.
Fourth. Debts or obligations already incurred, or which may be hereafter incurred in aid of insurrection or war against the Unidn, and claims for compensation for loss of the service of persons held to involuntary ’servitude for labor, shall not lie paid by anv State or by tbe United States. No State shall make or inforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. It is then further to tie provided by act of Congress, that whenever tbe above amendment shall have become part of tbe Constitution, and any of the Southern States shall have ratified it, and modified its constitution and laws in conformity thereof, the Senators and Representatives from such State duly elected and qualified, and taken the usual oath of office, be admitted; provided, that no person having been an officer in the army or navy of the United States, or having been a member of the thirty-sixth Congress, or of the Cabinet in the year 1860, did take part in the late insurrection, shall be eligible to either branch of the National Legislature, until after July 4, 1876. The above will probably be reported to the House to-morrow. The statement that this scheme is approved by tbe President is without any foundation in fact. It was submitted to him several days ago by Robert Dale Owen, but he gave no indication, by word or action, that he looked upon it with favor. There is authority for staling that the President not only disapproves of it, but regards it as a most dangerous and revolutionary scheme against the rights and privileges of the States, North and South. It remains to be seen whether Congress can be made to acBpt it.— IVas/n'ngton Correspondence New

“ Campo Bello Island, an attack on which, by the Fenians has been predicted by tbe sensational papers of New York, is in the Bay of Fundy at tbe entrance of Passantaquoddy Bay. It is about eight mile* in length by three in breadth, and is a part of the territory of New Brunswick. St. Johns, with its rich shipping and commodious harbor, is about forty miles from Campo Bello, and can be reached in a few hours by means of steam communication. Directly opposite is the coast of Nova SceUa, thirty-six to forty miles distant, with good harbor for light vessels.” This Campo Bello is close by Eastport in Maine, where the Fenians have been concentrating. We do not understand the movements of Seward in relation to tbe Fenians. Is he going to fight them? We supposed the Secretary was intending to make the Fenians tbe army of Invasion for the United States in a war with England. But what mean Meade and the fleet at Eastport? We are becoming impatient to see the Fenian army on the march, and its fleet upon tbe waters. It seems to us time that the imprisoned patriots in Ireland vfiere being relieved. Delay may prejudice the cause by giving the enemy time for preparation. _
